Inside the Leaders' Club: How top companies deal with pressing business issues by Michael Skapinker

We are in increasingly uncertain times where senior executives are looking for high level and practical business advice from experts and peers on what works - what doesn't and how to navigate their way through the challenges of modern corporate life.

Inside the Leaders’ Club is based on discussions with business leaders who share their expert tips. It will cover all elements of leadership from how to manage a business to examining what the role of a business leader is in tackling climate change.

This book offers leadership advice through the insights of our world class speakers and practical advice through the shared experiences and expertise of the senior executives who are members of the FT Forums - expertly curated, analysed and presented by senior FT editors.

'Inside the Leaders' Club is a rarity among management books: it contains all the wisdom of great leaders with none of the pomposity. I defy anyone to read this without learning a lot about themselves, their organisations and how to make both better.' Lucy Kellaway, FT columnist, co-founder of Now Teach and author of Re-educated: How I changed my job, my home, my husband & my hair.

'I have read many management books. Perhaps, too many. Fortunately, Inside the Leaders' Club by Michael Skapinker is far from a typical one. In a very reader-friendly format (after all, he is an FT writer), 'without fear and without favor' (the FT's slogan), he offers deep insights and much wisdom on how to lead an organization. I recommend this book unequivocally.' Manfred Kets de Vries, Insead Distinguished Professor of Leadership Development and Organisational Change.

'The reader leaves feeling more knowledgeable and with a clearer perspective they can take into their working life.' Lynda Gratton, London Business School Professor of Management Practice, co-author of The 100-Year Life and author of Redesigning Work.
